From 690479081fb6a0c0f77f10fb457ad69e71390f15 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Weijie Gao <weijie.gao@mediatek.com>
Date: Mon, 25 Jul 2022 10:26:35 +0800
Subject: [PATCH 40/71] mtd: add core facility code of NMBM

This patch adds a NAND bad block management named NMBM (NAND mapping block
management) which supports using a mapping table to deal with bad blocks
before factory shipping and during use.
